The bleeders also run $20+ per pair? and you'll need 3 or 4 pairs for the evo. Thats about the cost of the motive tool.

haha alright everyone im relaxed. I just really wanted to make this event. Pete I will see you this Sunday, whenever time is good for you works for me.

Marc I am going to take you up on that offer, would like to get real comfortable with doing the fluid for when I start doing more events. If this event doesnt work out, then I'm going to try to make the next one.

Blizzacks ehh? I may have to talk to you about those, I just need to find some cheap cheap 8 wheels or something to mount them on. I know chu, i shouldnt have sold mine, but it is what it is. Ill be in touch.

i hate work already, but at least its friday!

Don't try and bend over backwards to make this event. If it doesn't work it doesn't work, no sense in being rushed around. These things come around all the time. There is a PCA event @ Thunderbolt towards the end of the month I'm probably doing too.
I thought about taking these off your hands... I was gonna let you store them for the summer months till I needed them. My snow were beat, no grip left after 6 seasons, had to get rid of them.

I've heard that the Evo reservoir uses a Ford style cap, is that true?

I have the LM-60's, they are pretty awesome. This was the perfect winter for snow tires.

2am, 8+ inches of snow, only you and the occaisional plow truck, temporary state of lawlessness .... oh the memories


i think the WS series could be the worst possible auto-x tire

I had Pilot Alpin's. Loved them... Great in the snow, good dry grip. Got a little squirmy in the wet when the temps would rise in March but that may have been cause they were getting old and hard.

My first autox was on them, I agree, no fun at all.
